Tonight on Impact Wrestling: Last week, Aces and Eights made their presence felt by taking out both Hulk Hogan and Sting. This week, their path of destruction knows no bounds, as they lay out more active wrestlers as the Bound For Glory Series continues on Open Fight Night with the group ruining the main event between Bobby Roode and Austin Aries. Should be a good one!

Tonight's show emanates LIVE! from the Impact Zone in Orlando. "The Professor" Mike Tenay and The Tazz are our hosts.

A cold open to Tenay and Taz, who discuss last week's attack by Aces and Eights on Hulk Hogan and Sting. They say Hogan suffered a fractured pelvis and is on the sidelines. We see photos from him in the hospital and a graphic photo of the staples in his side. They do not have an update on Sting and note neither of them are in the Impact Zone tonight.

It's Open Fight Night and the call-outs will go in order of the standings, so points leader James Storm is out. He gets the mic and offers a congratulations to Austin Aries for his TNA World Heavyweight Championship win. He says people have asked where that leaves him and he says he's in first place in the BFG Series. But he offers a note to Bobby Roode. The title is business and he wants to carry the company, but Roode is personal and he wants to kick the crap out of him.

For his call out tonight, he wants to call out the lion, not the cub, so he's going to call out the greatest wrestler to ever step in the ring, Kurt Angle. Well, Angle's music plays twice and he's nowhere to be found. Storm tells a cameraman to go to the back to go get him and we see Angle getting beat down by Aces and Eights with a steel pipe. Angle is totaled.
